> "zionist" isn't a euphemism for "Jew" or "Jewish".

Yes it is. It doesn't literally mean Jewish but it absolutely is used as a euphemism for Jewish.

It's usually easy to tell the difference. If it's being used in the context of the social and political events leading up to the establishment of the state of Israel then it's likely to be the literal meaning.

If it's being used in almost any modern context, but especially in the context of conspiracies, secrets or money, then it's very likely to be euphemistic. And anti-semitic.

Correct, it's not even obfuscating the fact that they're merely referring to "Jews". Being pro-Israel is hardly the defining factor as to why they've been signaled out.
